Redhawk Caldera Access Denied

When Somnia heard panting and the pounding of feet on the ground, her stomach dropped. Her first reaction was to start moving, to try and act like she didn't know that the other wolf was there. That option was quickly crushed when she heard her name called by the pregnant Alpha. She temporarily thought of acting like she hadn't heard, but that wouldn't work either. She would've had to be deaf (as well as blind! How could you miss that gigantic swaying stomach?) to not have noticed Fox.

As Somnia turned around, her gaze landed on Fox's stomach. She knew that Fox was pregnant, but when had she actually started showing? It came to show how much Somnia was missing out on pack life. Once she managed to stop gawking, she answered Fox's question rather tonelessly, also obviously taking her question literally. "I've been here..." For the most part it was true. She had been gone for two days when she went looking for Ashton, but a few excursions every now and then weren't uncommon for the Gamma. Just because Somnia hadn't been showing her face didn't mean she had disappeared.
